My stay here in Bangkok was short. This was the starting city for my trip to Myanmar. I arrived 2 days early. The first day was R&R after a 24 hour journey, though I did have a Thai massage at the hotel. My second day was spent on a day tour of the city.

I found a great company on-line called Travel Hub Thailand. I booked a private trip that was just me with a guide and driver. They picked me up at the hotel about 8 AM and we returned around 4:30 PM. It was wonderful not having to deal with traffic or directions.
